Family & Friends

Family & Friends

‘Coming out of the closet’ isn’t just difficult for the person doing so – it also impacts the lives of those around them. At freedom2b we value our straight friends and supporters, and understand some of the issues they face when their friends or family identify as LGBTI. Below are some other Australian groups which are there for support.

PFLAG Australia – pflagaustralia.org.auParents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays is a well known organisation with many international subgroups. Their Australian group is active in all states, with monthly support meetings, newsletters, and plenty of resources on offer.

GAMMA – gamma.org.auGay and Married Mens Association is a NSW group that supports gay men who are or were married. Meetings are held twice a month, and feature advise on many aspects around marriage, families, and the issues faced by all sides.

Gay Dads Australia – gaydadsaustralia.com.auGay Dads Australia is a support network for gay men who wish to be or are already parents. They have state groups across the country, with many resources both for parents and children.
